Seventeen year-old Hannah Scully, of Saco, has been named the 2012 Maine Games Youth Athlete of the Year.

Since 2003, and the Maine Games' first year in existence, this Thornton Academy senior has been the most prolific athlete in the organization's 10-year history.

In 2003, Scully, then an eight-year old baton twirler, won her first Maine Games medal (gold). Her eight-year participation record has led her to the medal podium more than 30 times.

In 2004 and 2005, she also ran in the Maine Games State Track and Field Championships at Fitzpatrick Stadium, in Portland, winning a gold and two silver medals in the 50m and 100m, respectively.

Registration is open for the largest one-day fundraiser in Maine.

Teams are registering daily for Maine Adaptive’s flagship annual event, which often raises nearly 65% of the organization’s annual operating budget. The funds raised will go directly towards providing lessons in both winter and summer activities for over 400 people with physical disabilities, all free of charge.

RUMFORD, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- While it may be seen as a novelty for a girl to play football, Brooke Dolloff is proving that skill and will can keep you in the game.

"I debated whether I was going to play," she admits. "I was like, if I am going to play, I'm going to play all four years, I'm not quitting. I'm not going to be that girl who played freshman year and she's not playing anymore."

Now in her junior year, Brooke starts for the Mountain Valley's J.V. team, playing on both the offensive and defensive lines.

"It is not really the size that really matters, it is if you have the skill," explained Dolloff. "If you are quick enough and you can get to where you need to be, you are basically all set. It doesn't matter if the guy is 300 pounds bigger than you or not."

Brooke started playing football in 3rd grade on a team her father coached.
